Alison Knowles
Interviewed by
Tina Shaw
Spring 2016
About Alison Knowles
My peers have called me a non-therapist therapist because of my relaxed approach to working with and empowering my clients. I take this as a compliment. My training has allowed me the privilege of enabling people to deal with pain, addictions, phobias, eating disorders, stress anxiety, PTSD – the list goes on.
Our bodies and minds are amazing things if we only realised it. My role is to help you realise it and empower you to use it.
Ali published her first book “Ollie and his Super Powers” in early 2016 and has gone on to write many more since.
